Ipad 2 not recoginzed by itunes, even though has done so in the past. Tried all recommendations by online support.

ipad 2 not recobnized by itunes, even though it has done so previously. tried all tips provided by online Apple support. any ideas.

Well I finally had enough and completely re-installed WIndows 8. Initially this had no effect, but then I started getting error code '0x8000084 - unable to connect to iphone' which I took as a positive because at least now it was spotting there was a device even if it couldn't connect to it.
Going through the same steps as above I plugged the iPad into one of the USB3 ports on my PC and as if by magic, the iPad popped up and, as I write this, is happily syncing.
I'm running with a new i7 Ivybridge motherboard, I guess there must be some driver issues with the USB2 ports, hopefully rectified soon.
